Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Note: Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto are 18 years old. Also Sasuke left Orochimaru and returned back to Konoha.
-A Second Chance-
Sasuke loosen his black silk tie as he sat down on the edge of his bed. He ruffled his raven hair, his head was pounding. He massaged his temples trying to lessen the pain. It worsened; his mind was racing with memories…memories of her…
Sakura
-Sasuke-kun!
-I love you!
-Please don't go!
-If you go I'll scream!
Sasuke closed his eyes tightly, fatigued was taking over him, he did not sleep at all the day before Sakura's funeral. The whole funeral was a blur to Sasuke. Naruto of course broke down sobbing. Kakashi had a solemn face behind his black mask. Sasuke remained impassive on the outside but in the inside his heart was breaking slowly and painfully.
Why?...Why?...WHY?! Did she have to die! It was all my fault!
Sasuke winced as the memory of her death resurfaced in his mind. He could remember it clearly and vividly.
-Flashback-
Konoha was being invaded by sound ninjas and Orochimaru was leading them. Their objective: To retrieve Uchiha Sasuke.
Sasuke was easily fighting off sound ninjas but was growing weary. It was total madness in Konoha. Bodies filled the streets, the smell of fresh blood was everywhere, screams of despair echoed through the villages walls. It was an absolute hell hole, death lingered in every corner. Sasuke gave a final blow to a sound ninja. The body crumpled to the floor.
"Sasuke!"
It was Naruto.
"The frontlines, they are in need of reinforcements! They can't hold out much longer…"
He said out breath.
"Sakura…she's fighting in the-" Naruto whispered, Sasuke eyes widen with realization.
"Frontlines!"
Before Naruto could say anything else, Sasuke was already gone.
Sasuke sprinted towards the frontlines. Fighting sound ninjas along the way.
"Sakura!"
He yelled. Trying to find her location.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura was exhausted and wounded. Her charka levels were low. Sakura couldn't take this anymore she had to retreat. Sakura could swear that someone was calling her.
"Sakura!"
There it was again, it sounded like… Sasuke?!
"Sasuke!"
She cried out. Sasuke heard the call and ran in the direction of the yell.
All of sudden smoke filled the air. 'Shit, don't breath in.' Sakura thought. Sakura's eyes started to burn and day turn into night.
'Shit…Shit…SHIT!' Sakura scream in her mind. She was a sitting duck. All she could was yell for help.
"SASUKE!"
Sasuke heard the more desperate cried for help and ran with all his strength. Until he spotted Sakura. She was just a few yards away. It looked like she was stumbling, almost as if she was blind?! The he saw it a sound ninja aiming at Sakura with his kunais.
"SAKURAA!!!"
He ran faster.
"Sasuke…" She said smiling. She thought Sasuke had come to her rescued. The sound ninja aimed and…
"NOOO!"
It was too late; Sakura fell to the floor with a sickening thud. Sasuke eyes widen, his shocked expression soon changed to rage. His eyes turned crimson red. In a blink of an eye he was behind the sound ninja.
"Bastard…"
Sasuke silted his throat. Blood gushed out of the wound and the sound ninja fell to the ground. Sasuke was breathing deeply and quickly rushed to his fallen teammate. He reached over and pulled her shoulder, to see her face.
Her face was pale and lifeless.
"Sakura…"
He whispered
Sasuke didn't know what to say, she was dying and he knew it.
Sasuke was scared.
Scared of losing the only person that ever cared for him.
-Sakura
"Sasuke…kun…"
There was a dead silence.
"I love you…"
Sakura closed her eyes.
Forever
Forever
-Forever-
-End of Flashback-
Sasuke clenched his fists.
"It's all my fault…"
Sasuke drifted off to sleep.
-Sasuke's Dream-
"It's dark…"
Sasuke could see nothing. It was pitch black. He was standing in nothingness.
" SASUKE!"
"Sakura!?"
He yelled.
"Sasuke!"
His name echoed in darkness.
"Sasuke!"
He heard voices.
They chanted.
"It's your entire fault!"
"Because of you, Sakura is dead!"
The voices got loud.
Louder
Louder
And LOUDER
Sasuke held his head and shut his eyes.
"STOP IT!"
Silence
The great Uchiha fell to his knees.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Tears?
The Uchiha Sasuke was shedding tears.
He felt…
Miserable
Lonesome
Despair
& Responsible for Death
He wanted to die.
So he could be with her…
-Sakura
He closed his eyes.
-----------------------
Peaceful Stillness?
He reopened his eyes.
Only to find light
& Warmth?
Hmmmmm…
Soothing humming
& Touch?
Sakura was stroking Sasuke's raven locks of hair. While his head laid on her lap.
Sasuke's eyes widen when he saw her above his head. And was about to say something.
But instead he relaxed.
She smiled.
She was so beautiful.
They laid under a Cherry Blossom tree.
The wind blew.
Thousands of Cherry Blossoms rained down.
One gently landed on Sasuke's hand.
Sasuke softly held it.
Cherry Blossoms are so fragile
-End of Sasuke's Dream-
Sasuke reopened his still tired eyes. Sasuke looked at his clothing; he was wearing a white tank top with navy boxers with the Uchiha symbol imprinted on them.
"I don't remember changing…?" He thought. A smiling Sakura flashed in his mind.
"Sakura…"
Sasuke quickly changed and ate breakfast. He needed a walk badly. So he could sort out his thoughts. Sasuke walked out of his apartment and failed to see that it was March 7, two days before the invasion.
-------------------------
Sasuke walked towards the bridge, where team seven used to meet.
His eyes widen.
He blinked several times.
He stood there motionless.
He stared at her.
"Sasuke..kun?"
Sakura moved closer towards Sasuke.
Was he dreaming?
Sasuke bit his lip.
It hurt.
This was real.
Blood trickled down his chin.
"Sasuke-kun you're bleeding."
She said with concern tone.
A hand reached towards his face.
It softly wiped off the crimson blood.
Sasuke expression was unreadable.
"Sasuke-kun is there something….?"
Sasuke embraced her.
Sasuke would never lose her again.
Everybody deserves a second chance.
Including Sasuke Uchiha.
